Is there any downside to this deal for the Patriots?

Matt Williamson: If there is, I don't see it. This is a great player in the prime of his career who makes everyone around him better. Revis is a true lockdown cover man that more or less eliminates the opposing offense's top receiver. That is a tremendous tactical advantage, and Bill Belichick will know exactly how to exploit it. Logan Ryan or Alfonzo Dennard will get a ton of over-the-top help from Devin McCourty, who is one of the best in the business at doing exactly that. Plus, expect a lot more blitzing from Belichick now.
